She has had many television and film roles, but her breakout role was starring in Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love (1996). Her exotic Indian beauty fuels a sexuality that makes this film worth watching.

Indrias beauty led to many TV roles over the years but she still remained a relative unknown talent. She appeared in a more mainstream film with Mad Dogs (2002). In 2004's Bride and Prejudice, and TV producers tryed in her in many TV shows since.

FACTS

QUOTES

About her drama training: "I grew up, psychologically and emotionally. You were constantly asked to delve deep into yourself. You know, method acting and all that. In 'Impro' , you'd think to yourself, 'Right. My character's been raped, and beaten up, and now's she's tied up in this room.' And you'd say to people, 'Ooh. Could you throw me down the stairs before my improvisation and tie me up?' It wasn't a case of acting, it was where you became the person. Ridiculous, but really good fun."

"I've been doing serious acting for as long as I've been working, but sadly, most Asians don't attend plays or tune into what they consider arty dramas, but I know they'll watch Bride and Prejudice - it's not exactly serious acting, but at least I won't be seen as the porn star that some people think I am!"

"The star system in India takes some getting used to. The divide between rich and poor is huge as it is, but if you're a film star, you're placed way up there and everyone around expects you to behave like you're a superior being or something. There are people hanging around all day waiting to bring you a glass of water or carry something for you, anything to show you they're not worthy. It's crazy.'For the British Asian stars among the cast, who grew up minus servants and pions waiting on them hand on foot, or feeling any particular need to act the star when off camera, all this seemed a bit much. For a while, they decided to put it down to different strokes. Until Indria and co-star and `soulmate' Nitin Ganatra decided: `Sod this. Let's take the piss.'" (Asiana Magazine Autumn 2004)

"I'm as insecure as the next girl when it comes to the way I look, but I also know anyone can be made to look much better than they are, whether that's through cosmetic surgery and trick photography or make-up and a flattering dress. Other people's glamor only becomes a problem when you become obsessed with wanting to look like them. I can do glamorous if a part or a photo shoot requires it, but I don't want to live glamorous." (Asiana Magazine Autumn 2004)

About Aishwarya Rai: "She's always working, if she isn't acting she's doing a dance show or singing at some billionaire's party or attending some gala premiere. I wanted to shake her and scream: call this a life? Take a holiday for god's sake! But she surrounds herself with yes-men who treat her like a goddess - she's in a bubble and if she's happy I guess that's cool." (Asiana Magazine Autumn 2004)

About Aishwarya Rai's acting: "As an actor, I love to transform that magic, to step inside a new role and make it part of my skin, my being. And she, well, she looks the same. She has the same make-up artist for every movie. I wanted to ask her: don't you want to be in something where no one recognizes you? The whole concept of method acting was like an alien concept, but it does exist. Look at Om Puri, look at Shabana Azmi. Jesus, she'd never even seen a Satyajit Ray movie!" (Asiana Magazine Autumn 2004.
